Pedro Feliciano Wants An Extension

Mets lefty reliever Pedro Feliciano craves a multiyear extension with the Mets, according to Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News (hat tip to MetsBlog). The reliever is currently aiming to break his own team record for appearances in a season. He's held lefties to a .232/.259/.377 line this year. Rubin notes:

Feliciano, 33, is arbitration-eligible and under the Mets' control for the 2010 season. After that, he will be eligible for free agency. But both Mets officials and Feliciano expect to speak about a multi-year deal this winter. Either way, Feliciano is due a raise from the $1.6MM he's earning this season.

Feliciano told Rubin he'd like a two or three-year deal. I imagine Feliciano will seek $2MM+ for 2010, plus $3MM a year thereafter. The high-water marks from last year's free agent class: Jeremy Affeldt's two-year, $8MM deal and Damaso Marte's three-year, $12MM pact. Both were signed in November.
